Easy to breed Cichlids

[Jason7894561230]

Hey,
So I am in the process of setting up my own breeding and selling business. I am looking for Cichlids that are easy to breed but are unusual and hard to find. Any segguestions would be great. If also you could add an article or something of how they breed that would also help me out a lot since im new to breeding fish (not keeping though).

Jason.

I'd say you're asking too much. If they're not easy to find, chances are its because they're harder to breed. Shell dwellers are easy to breed, so are convicts and brichardi. Mbuna are easy to get to breed with proper ratios, but stripping them and separating the fry is a bigger job.

Fish which are hard to get/find are usually equally hard to breed.

Think about the availability of neon tetras for example: they're everywhere and they're still a pain to breed.

Yeah i guess, after doing some research i think Firemouths and key hole cichlids are a good start
